🔥🌲Carmel Highlands Fire/CAL FIRE is excited to team up with California State Parks and Caltrans for vegetation management along the Highway 1 corridor in front of Point Lobos State Natural Reserve!

This project not only reduces wildfire risk along this iconic stretch of highway, but also addresses hazard trees at the park entrance — including several that had already come down into utility lines.

Wildfires don’t stop at jurisdictional boundaries… and neither do our Vegetation Management Projects! 💪🔥

Our UAS program was recently featured in the Monterey Herald! 🚁
It’s exciting to see how this emerging technology is already making a real impact on safety, efficiency, and the way we serve our community. We’re proud of the progress so far — and even more excited about what the future holds.

Cal Fire San Benito-Monterey has the largest unmanned aircraft systems program of its kind in the state, in both number of pilots and flight hours.
